Dashboard Lights

yemgi · November 30, 2003

When I turn the lights on, the dash no longer illuminate :(, all the specific lights (door opened, full beam light, fog light, Battery ... ) are working. I have checked all the fuses and they are all fine :duh:

It has happend when I have plugged my new headunit.. It worked with the aircon and radio out. I have tried to remove the aircon and the new headunit again, but it still doesn't light on.

Anybody has an idea ?

does sound like you have loosened a conection when refitting head unit. check all connectors behind unit.

Do you have a multimeter (voltage checker) go round to see if power is getting to fuses if not then the problem is further back down wiring loom.

not a genius with electrickery so hope Geoffers or someone can add to that. Good luck my friend!

thanks Loz, I wondered if there is a fuse that I may have not seen

Check that the "Rheostat", the knob that adjust the brightness of the speedo clocks it not loose or diconnected

This can cause them to not illuminate

the problem is solved :), I connected the headunit ground wire to the green wire (lights of the OEM unit) so when I turned on the lights, is burnt the fuse. Connecting the ground to the brown wire and changing the fuse makes all go right again

Thanks to Geoffers for his very helpful and patient replies
